IGT:10/25/2011 Anaheim Ducks vs. Chicago Blackhawks

[Jntg4]

i'd say the Kane experiment at center has been a success

Q made a bold move and it worked.

 

[tbo41fan]

wow toews...nice move

 

[tbo41fan]

It's a valid gripe if the games continually go to shootouts. Like 3 in a row...especially when the Hawks don't look competitive in them.

but there is nothing we can do about it....its a part of the game...we have to deal with it

Agreed

It wasn't part of the game until relatively recently though.

stalberg and bickell in OT? risky move by Q

 

[icehogfan08]

yea...please no shootouts...i cant stand another 3 days of people bitching about shootouts

Yeah, and all the chat of how the off-season 2 years ago should have been done.

Shootouts need to be eliminated from the NHL. Stay in AHL though.

I like the shoot outs. I cannot stand ties, they are ridiculous. The Hawks just need a better strategy in the Shoot-out, plus if they won allot more games in the Shoot-out people wouldn't complain about it nearly as much.

Speed. But yes, very risky. Probably just the best rested right now.

 

[tbo41fan]

intense hockey right now

IDK, I don't like how the team effort becomes one man on each team with 3+ sets.

In favor of what though, a flat out tie? What would be the point or alternative.

In no way should we want to see regular season of extended games in OTs that have the chance to go an extra 20 minutes or longer.. especially with the minutes players like Keith already rack up;

 

[Jntg4]

Checking the ref :yeah:

If the Hawks were close on SO goals, I wouldn't gripe, but it stinks to see two deserved points lost.

well if it was such good team effort there wouldn't be many shoot outs, just my opinion

Meh, I wanted continuous OT, but I see the issues with that. That's why in Japan, baseball games are innings-limited.

Ya, I hate ties (Fire had 16 this year :smh.

 

[icehogfan08]

The only way to probably make the point system better is for 3 points a win

 

[HawkWriter]

How have they not been close?

For god sakes, the Blackhawks have been to only 2 shootouts this year (now 3) but they were only in a total of 11 last year.

 

[tbo41fan]

NOW we get a penalty

 

[Captain Iago]

Nice to see Hammer gettin' a little feisty.

 

[icehogfan08]

Wow, nice play by Toews & Hossa
